Abstract

As the computing world becomes increasingly Web-centric, software systems will obtain more contents and services from outside the organizations. As a result, more university computer science courses will add Web server-side project assignments that use not only local resources within the university, but also external resources throughout the Web. This creates new problems in logistic as the university has no control of the external Web sites. This paper discusses our experience on Web-centric projects, their unique challenges and our recommendations.
